To make the practice of this a little more interactive I put together these printable labelling sheets. The full colour sheets I have laminated and are perfect to use as part of the Morning Routine/Calendar Time/Morning Circle.
The children can work through the various stages of these printable continent maps until they have everything well memorised. This download includes:
- Full colour map with continents & oceans labelled
- Full colour map with continents labelled
- Full colour map with oceans labelled
- Full colour map with space to add continents label
- Full colour map with space to add oceans label
- Sheet of labels to use with full colour maps
- Watermark maps to label with pen and ink, once the child is ready
I purchased this awesome felt map a while back in those fundraising catalogues that come out in time for christmas. It has loads of various bits and pieces you can add to the map.
To introduce the continents to K I showed her this video from You Tube.
Then for ongoing practice (as the above one is a little long) we refer to this one.
We love our gorgeous wooden Montessori Continent map. The kids use this to trace around and pin punch out the various continents.

I would like to bring up the issue of menu popup locations during play on 3x displays, as well as general layout.
Having the minimap and menu anchored to the right and left respectively is a good solution for single and double monitor display setups, however due to the fact that the creation menu and other functions land on opposite sides of each other, it makes 3x monitor gaming a bit uncomfortable.
There was a solution found in other games where the HUD was isolated to the center monitor, allowing for ease of access (and lack of texture stretching in most cases, though not applicable here). I feel like centralizing the hud on 3x monitor resolutions seems like it would make the game feel more refined, and complete. Its worth it to mention that when it hits steam and supports 3x monitor resolutions in a complete way, it is sure to pick up more traction as a modern RTS.

I've heard about one of those here in Atlanta.. supposed to be really good. Im not sure if it was Brazilian.. but I saw some commercial for a south american restaurant with the waiters going table to table with these gigantic slabs of meat. Like.. an entire cow on a stick...or pig or whatever. Unbelievably humongous slabs of ribs... That made me very hungry.

Unfortunately I can't make it next week. I pushed a lot of plans until next week because so much of this past week has been helping a friend out with his Wedding that is in a few hours. Let me know how it is though!
My name is Dave.
Cafe Brasil isn't too bad, it's on Venice in Culver City. Has a very nice patio..
Cafe Brasil's churrasco plate is tasty and affordable, I think it's $8.75 for the plate with tax. It tastes pretty authentic and I like the atmosphere too. Also another plus is right across the street is a Brasilian market. I recommend getting the Minas pao de queijo- (or cheese bread) it is a little on the expensive size but...yumm it's really goood (with an extra o).
If you want buffet style meat galore, try Greenfield Churrascaria. I like this place better than Picanha. You save a few bucks and overall it has better meat selection and side dishes. (try the feijoada and estrogonofre).

Rosenberg could pitch his way into 2014 plans
PHILADELPHIA -- It is no secret that the Phillies' bullpen needs help.
Philadelphia's relief corps entered Wednesday's series finale against Washington with a 4.30 ERA, the worst in the National League. Looking ahead to next season, there are plenty of holes to fill behind closer Jonathan Papelbon -- assuming he is not traded in the offseason -- so anybody who wants to step up over the final few weeks of the season is welcome.
Right-hander B.J. Rosenberg has done just that recently. Since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Aug. 18, he has 10 scoreless appearances. Over 8 2/3 innings he has allowed four hits, three walks and struck out nine.
Opponents have hit .133 against him.
"I've used a little bit of a different grip with my slider, and that seems to have helped," Rosenberg said. "A lot of it was mechanical. I came from out of the windup and did a little tap step on the way back, and it helped me get over the rubber and carry a little more angle on the ball. That has also helped me in the stretch -- angling the ball. I've been getting a lot of groundouts and keeping the ball down."
Rosenberg throws 97 mph, which makes him dangerous when he is getting movement on his pitches and throwing them for strikes.
"I feel great," he said. "My arm feels really, really good. If you put together a few good outings, you do feel more confident. If you have a bad outing, you can try to look back at the other ones. That just comes from getting more experience up here. I feel more comfortable.
"I'm not trying to think about next year. I'm trying to pitch well while I'm here. Nothing is ever guaranteed. I'm just trying to impress [interim manager Ryne Sandberg]. I want them to have confidence in me that I can do this job. I'll take things as they come next year."

Chapter One
by benison on Jul.18, 2014, under French Historical Fiction
Maurice Marceau reached the gated entrance to the Duc de Roche's chateau. They were greeted by servants holding torches to help lead the guests to the main entrance.
Marguerite looked so happy as she held his arm. She was enthralled by all the grandeur.
No one recognized Maurice as he was seldom seen in public. They waited in line until their names were asked and written down by a servant before formerly announcing their presence and proceeding inside. Maurice noticed that there were women present and Marguerite at least would not be bored. He caught the eye of his brother-in-law, the Duc d' Laurenc's with his mistress while waiting for their names to be announced.
"Le Duc d' Laurenc and Madame Charlotte," announced the servant.
"Le Deputé Marchand and Madame Marchand," announced the servant.
"Le Marquis de Maupaussant and Madame Reneé," announced the servant.
"Monsieur Maurice Marceau and Madame Marguerite," announced the servant.
The entire room fell into a hushed silence upon hearing the name. Maurice and Marguerite were greeted by an entire line of co-hosts and immediately caught the attention of all present. His name was famous yet his face was seldom seen in public. His handsome face and physique stunned all in attendance. So very few of the wealthy in France held such money and good looks in combination and with such magnetism. Maurice carried himself well and beheld those in attendance in absolute awe. He was a fine one. And to the few who knew him, Maurice was never known to bring a woman with him to the few social events he chose to attend as he always arrived alone. This was a first in many many years.

Big crowds for last-minute shopping
The Pinnacle Hills Promenade was packed on Saturday as many people made their final Christmas purchases
It was a beautiful but busy Saturday at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade, as many people did some last-minute Christmas shopping.
"It's super crowded today, and it was over the weekend; probably the last three days. It's been super crowded here. There's nowhere to park," shopper Kelli Teel said.
Thankfully, there are plenty of places to do some last-minute holiday shopping.
"I'm not done yet; still shopping. Just a few more people to shop for...so not too much," shopper Rob Tunheim said.
"We'll be done today. It's gone alright. It's crazy, but it's not too bad. We started about two months ago," said shopper Keith Guy.
For most people, the holiday shopping started right after Thanksgiving and continues right up until Christmas.
"We started on Black Friday, and we're just finishing up today," Teel said.
As we made our way through the crowd of shoppers, we discovered that many people have already finished their shopping, but they were out once again, this time searching for deals.
"I actually finished shopping yesterday, but there's so many good deals going on that I did more shopping today," shopper Amy Jones said.
"I started about three weeks ago, right after Thanksgiving, and we're just about done. We're out today getting the last couple of things. There's always something else," said shopper Chuck Rogers.
And there is good news for all you last-minute shoppers: Many of the stores are staying open later than usual to accommodate the crowds.

Upper Antelope Canyon
Do you speak Navajo? If not, then you are like me and probably didn't know that "Tse' bighanilini" means "the place where the water runs through the rock" and is a name of one of the most amazing places in the world. Unlike many others, it is a simple and meaningful name, however, it doesn't explain why this canyon is so popular and attracts hundreds of tourists each day.

Oakland University Hurdlers Lead Golden Grizzlies at IPFW Quadrangular
Provided by Oakland University
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Breanna Peabody and Serena San Cartier both broke the 60m hurdles record and Niklas Rippon won the 60m hurdles to highlight the Golden Grizzlies as the Oakland men's and women's track and field teams competed at the IPFW Quadrangular Saturday afternoon. Five Oakland athletes won individual events during the meet.
"I think we got out of today what we are hoping to see at this point," said head coach Paul Rice. "For the most part we had very solid performances and some nice improvements. Our middle distance and distance runners did great today and so did our men's shot putters. This next week is a big week for us again as the meet gets bigger heading to Youngstown State."
Peabody and San Cartier broke the previous 60m hurdles record of 8.75 in the finals as Peabody won with a time of 8.69 and San Cartier finished second with an 8.74. Rippon completed the sweep of the 60m hurdle event as he finished first with a time of 8.35.
Andrew Stebbins continued a solid indoor season by winning the shot put event with a throw of 49 feet, 11.25 followed by Gino Vitella with a throw of 48 feet, 2.75 inches for a runner-up finish. Karli Keur earned another first-place finish in the 800m run with a time of 2:16.69 while Jennifer Lane tallied a victory in the high jump with a mark of 5 feet, 5 inches.
In the pole vault, Spencer Britt earned a runner-up finish with a mark of 10 feet, 6 inches while the men finished second and third in the high jump as Jake Scheffler and C.J. Gozdor each had a jump of 6 feet, 2.75 inches. For the women, Brittni Hutton tallied a second-place finish in the 1-mile run with a time of 5:06.31 and Courtney Stauffer finished with a time of 2:21.21 in the 800m run.
The Golden Grizzlies will be on the track next week as they travel to Youngstown, Ohio to compete in the YSU National Invitational Feb. 1-2.

The wispy arms of a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way can be seen in striking detail in a new image from the European Southern Observatory.
NGC 300, located in the Sculptor Group of galaxies about 6 million light-years from Earth, was photographed by the Wide Field Imager (WFI) at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.
The many energetic star-forming regions along NGC 300's spiral arms are visible in the picture as red and pink clouds.
The image, which was taken with a 50-hour exposure, gives a clear view of NGC 300's structure and shows the apparent size of the galaxy, which is about two-thirds the size of the full moon against the sky.
NGC 300 was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop, who spotted the bright galaxy from Australia in the early 19th century. As a relatively nearby galaxy that is quite prominent in the southern skies, NGC 300 actually can be seen with regular binoculars.
The galaxy is located in the constellation Sculptor, which contains a few bright stars but is made up of a collection of galaxies that form the Sculptor Group. Other known galaxies that belong to this group include NGC 55, NGC 253 and NGC 7793.
The new image was assembled from a series of separate images that were taken through different filters with a total exposure time of close to 50 hours. The resulting data were collected over the course of many nights of observation that spanned several years.
The extensive observational campaign was part of a larger effort to assemble a census of the stars in the galaxy. Astronomers wanted to count the number and varieties of the stars while singling out regions or individual stars for more focused examination.
In a recent discovery by ESO astronomers, one of the most massive black holes was found in the galaxy, and it was determined that NGC 300 and another galaxy, NGC 55, are slowly spinning around and toward each other, in the early stages of an eventual galactic merger.
By studying the structure and content of NGC 300, astronomers can get a better idea of other characteristics of spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way.

Argentina teetered on the brink of its second default in 13 years after talks with bondholders collapsed late Wednesday.
The setback, after glimmers of hope in recent days that a last-minute agreement could be reached, immediately sent Argentine stocks plunging in after-hours trading.
Still, there remained the possibility that talks could...

ITU Secretary General in Costa Rica
By Paula Kim on 02/03/11 at 10:01 pm
Earlier in February, ITU Secretary General Loreen Barnett spent a week in Costa Rica to visit with the National Federation and the National Olympic Committee (NOC). Here, in her own words, is Loreen's experience there:
I recently traveled to Costa Rica to fulfill a long-standing invitation from Christina Gonzalez, NF President and Silvia Gonzalez, NOC Secretary General. While in Costa Rica I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon at the headquarters of the Costa Rican National Olympic Committee. Interestingly the building that houses the NOC headquarters—which sits are a large acreage on the outskirts of San Jose—was the mansion of a drug lord now serving a lengthy jail sentence. The building was confiscated by the government and given to the NOC.
While at the NOC Headquarters I had a good meeting with Henry Nuňuz, President of the NOC and Silvia and the staff. Among the topics of conversation was the prospects of Costa Rica hosting an international event and hosting more development activities for the region. This is enthusiastically supported by Henry Nuňuz and his senior staff.
I also met with Marc Faraci, the NOC Chief Administration Officer. He is responsible for general administration and financial operations as well as athlete funding and particularly the resources available through Olympic Solidarity. Marc is Swiss, born in Geneva and has a sports business degree from Lausanne University. He is married to a Costa Rican woman and has immigrated to his new homeland. While in Lausanne he did several projects with Olympic Solidarity so is a tremendous resource having already proven his worth in acquiring significant funding for athletes and coaches. Marc told me that he would be very happy to assist other NOCs in the region to acquire similar resources for their triathletes and coaches.
The NOC is just completing a major development project which included removing 45 diseased pine trees from its property. With significant funding from Olympic Solidarity, they used the trees to build housing for up to 48 athletes attending courses, camps and seminars.
They were successful in securing the Olympic Solidarity funding as a Sport and the Environment project. Through collaboration with a local lumber producer, they were able to offer half the trees in exchange for the services to cut the trees into the required dimensions to build the housing area.
The project is nearing completion and will be fully operational soon. Each of the 12 large rooms in the dormitory will house 6 athletes or coaches and have full shower and bath facilities. The dining area and catering kitchen is located in the main building.
I also spent a delightful afternoon with Christina Gonzalez touring the province of Cartago which is where Roberto Solano has his high altitude training centre. The athletes sleep at over 2000m on the slope of Irazu, the country's highest volcano and train in the pristine valley below, which is famous for its coffee plantations. Roberto is applying the principle of live high, train low. Athletes from Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Hungary were in residence at the camp preparing for the upcoming season.
That evening I was invited to attend a meeting of the federation and the event production company "Unlimited", which stages most of their events including the National Series. I was delighted to witness the collegial atmosphere of the meeting as well as the blend of young, energetic people with the wisdom and experience that comes with age. Christina is doing a wonderful job of steering the group and everyone is pulling together.
The two young brothers who own Unlimited are full of energy and enthusiasm. They work very well with the federation and the national technical officials. They are also very interested in improving their skills. They are working with Rodolfo Beech, who is a retired project manager. He is helping them develop a business plan and market their events.
The following day we all attended the pre-event media conference organized by Unlimited and the federation. The main speakers at the event were Henry Nuňuz, President of the NOC and Carlos Ricardo Benavides, Minister of Tourism and Sport for the Costa Rican government. There were three television channels in attendance along with all of the key daily newspapers and radio stations. I commented that it was an indication of the strength of the support in the country to have both the President of the NOC and the Minister of Tourism and Sport in attendance.
On the weekend we made the four-hour drive to Conchal where the federation hosted one of the events in the new USA-based Revolution3 series. This series offers the entire range of events from Ironman distance to sprint and is focused on "the age group experience". On the insistence of the federation they had moved the prize money purse of $35,000USD from the half Ironman event to the "standard" distance.
The Rev3 group has made a partnership with the federation and the event production company, Unlimited. I was very impressed with the technical qualities of the event as well as the over 600 participants who were very satisfied with their experience, despite the hot conditions and one of the most challenging bike and run courses I have ever seen.
I also think it was a first that Henry Nunuz got out of bed at 4:30am to ensure he saw the start of the elite race. I'm not aware of any other NOC President who has done this in the history of our sport.
When Leonardo Chacon won the race by over three minutes against the likes of Matt Reed and Manuel Huerta, the place went a little nutty. The front page of Naciono, the country's largest daily was nothing but the story of the race and their triathlon hero.

This is the most fun I ever had!
During her long hospital visits to overcome stage IV cancer, Addy would find refuge in music. When she wasn't too drained from chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she practiced singing and dancing. When she learned that Make-A-Wish® Mid-Atlantic would grant her wish, Addy had the perfect idea: She wished to be a pop star performing "Roar" by Katy Perry (her favorite artist). The lyrics to "Roar" inspired Addy to fight and beat cancer. Her incredible music video celebrates her victory and her wish come true. #addyroar

Portland city staff to craft Deering Avenue roundabout plans
Proposals to be presented later in year
The Portland transportation, sustainability and energy committee recommended staff refine the plans of possible roundabouts in the area of the University of Southern Maine's Portland campus.
The proposal could take several months to develop, Portland City Councilor and committee member David Marshall said. Once the plans are complete, possibly by the summer, they will be presented to the committee and could be referred to the city council.
If built, the two roundabouts would be about a block away from each other on Deering Avenue. Marshall has heard complaints about traffic congestion in the area.
USM has offered a quarter-million dollars in construction costs to improve traffic in the area. A neighborhood association and neighbors supported the roundabout proposal after several meetings, Marshall said.

Jennifer Lawrence is apparently planning to take a long break from acting.
The Oscar-winning actress has worked on eight movies in the last 12 months and, according to Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, she wants to take some time off to unwind.
He told The Sun on Sunday: "She's going to have a long break for a year where she won't do anything.
"It's been non-stop for her and she deserves a rest."
He went on: "Jennifer is too nice and will do people favours and agrees to do a movie like American Hustle when she could have had a rest.
"She signed on to do Hunger Games when she was young and wouldn't have realised how much it would dominate her life.
"But she's a professional and always will be."
Meanwhile, filmmaker David O Russell – who directed Jen in her Oscar-winning turn in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, which she's nominated for – has told how a spider helped the actress to win him over.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director said he realized how special Jennifer was during her Silver Linings audition, when she chatted about a spider she had spotted in the bathroom.
"I asked her to cry and she made me cry," he said. "She cried, so she went to get a tissue in the bathroom. She went, 'Ah! There's a gigantic spider in the bathroom!' She imitated how the spider went when she tried to attack [it]. That fascinated me as much as anything else. She was unlike anybody I'd ever seen."

We continuously challenge ourselves to improve and enrich our programs--incorporating new technologies, refining our teaching materials and methods, carefully preparing all environments. Regularly, we examine and update our curriculum to reflect new discoveries while preserving the integrity of Montessori pedagogy.
Hailing from cities around the United States and Canada, our staff is a diverse group of individuals who represent a variety of teaching styles and educational backgrounds.
We are united by dual commitment to teaching authentic Montessori in our own classrooms and to bringing the enrichment of an authentic, evolving Montessori philosophy to our Adult Learners and schools.
The following is taken from the American Montessori Society pamphlet titled, "It is Necessary, It is Montessori":
"It is necessary to give children the possibility of developing according to the laws of their nature, so that they can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than dared hope for them."
Montessori advocated special preparation for the teacher: a course of study promoting self-knowledge along with knowledge of child development and techniques for implementing individualized learning, curriculum, and educational environment. Authentic Montessori environments offer the child an experience that builds competence and confidence with unsurpassed effectiveness--a timeless gift from one of the world's great educators. Authentic Montessori teacher education programs provide a rich, fertile ground for the nourishment and development of the teacher.
Maria Montessori created the first "Casa dei Bambini,"(Children's House) in the slum quarters of Rome, Italy. With the 1912 publication of her first book, The Montessori Method, she described a revolutionary, new kind of school that gained immediate worldwide fame for the Montessori system. She revealed how her tiny "students" realized a potential that no one, not even Montessori herself, had even dreamed of as being possible.

Описание: Casana was doing her daily girlfriend gossip when she found out her older brother's nerdy friend that just so happened to being coming over later, had a huge cock. She was determined to find out if the roomers were true. Manuel stopped by to drop off some comic books he borrowed. Casana's brother told him to put them in his room, but that is when Casana took action. She lured Manuel over to her side of the house, but he insisted that he needed to go to her brothers room. She gave up and told him how much she liked big cocks. She then grab it and asked if he wanted some real eighteen year old action. She started sucking his huge dick in the hallway. She wanted more, so they moved to her bedroom where the real fun took place. Her precious pink box was filled with some serious cock. She loved it as her pussy puffed up with excitement. He couldn't take the young tight pussy for very long and unleashed a massive load all over her sweet perking tits. It probably took her an hour to wash off the man goo.

Sarah Ellen, a daughter of Minerva Parks and John Barclay, became an heir of uncle Alexander Barclay after the affidavits about the status of her father, John Barclay, were submitted to the Probate Court of Dakota County.
Again the following is a mix of my research and my cousin's.
Sarah Ellen Barclay was born the 29 March, 1869 in Sibley Co., Minnesota. She died on 16 August 1957 in Seattle, King Co., Washington as Helen Westerholme. She started using the name "Helen" by 1910. At the time of Alexander Barclay's probate process in 1906, she was known as Sarah Ellen Sears.
We find Helen Sears with Lewis Sears in the 1910 Census.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck and Lewis died 2 July 1913 in Seattle and is buried in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery on Queen Anne Hill next to her brother John A. Barclay's grave. I have not found an obituary notice at this time for Lewis Sears but I did find a picture of a man who could be him but I cannot post here so below is the location of the article.

Years pasted and Helen, as she was calling herself now, remarried to Alex W. Westerholm on the 13th day of February, 1918, in Seattle, King Co., Washington. He may have been Axel rather than Alex.

Neither Helen (Sarah Ellen) nor John seemed to escape tragedy in their lives. Helen's husband Axel was a Captain and his ship blew up. An article about this accident at sea appeared in the Seattle Times Monday 24 April 1944 on page 7, column 2, 3 and more. The article also had pictures of the Capt and Mrs. Westerholm but I cannot share them here. What follows is only a portion of the article.
Families of Missing Straub People Still Hope for Return
Families of the seafaring men lost in the sinking of the Liberty ship John Straub last Wednesday today clung desperately to the hope that their men had reached shore safely or boarded ships nearby in Alaskan waters. Notified yesterday of the disaster, the wives and mothers telephoned each other and sought information additional to the meager accounts of survivors and Coast Guard officials.
Mrs. Axel W. Westerholm, 1718 14th Ave. S., wife of the 66 year old captain who has been going to sea with the Alaska Steamship Company since 1918, could not believe the veteran skipper could meet with a serious accident. "He was determined to keep going as long as vital cargoes were needed in distant parts," she said." He could have retired some years ago."
First Trip on Straub:
Captain Westerholm, one of the Seattle's oldest mariners in point of service, was in the vicinity of Dutch Harbor when the Japanese made their first raid at the outpost early in the summer of 1942. Although it was believed it was his first trip on the John Straub, he had been master of other Liberty ships and had served on passenger ships, freighters and cargo ships of all types…
The articles goes on to describe other men involved in the accident. There are other articles on the same page discussing the Liberty Ships and why they were in the waters in that location.
Helen Westerholm buried her brother John Avery Barclay at Mount Pleasant near her first husband Lewis Sears on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington in 1951. She herself passed on 16 August 1957.
Her death is recorded in the Washington State Digital Archives:
Image #1135, Doc#15366, Helen S. Westerholm, 16 Aug 1957, 86 Female, father John Bartlay, mother Minerva Parks, in Seattle, King Co., Washington.
A funeral and obituary notice appeared in the Seattle Times on Sunday, August 18, 1957 for Helen:
Funeral: Westerholm – Helen S. 641 East 72nd, Mother of Raymond Steadman, Seattle. Private services Monday 11 a.m. Green Lake Funeral Home, Interment Evergreen. page 48, column 4.
Obituary: Mrs. Alex W. Westerholm. Private funeral services for Mrs. Helen Sears Westerholm, 86, will be held tomorrow in the Green Lake Funeral Home. Burial will be in Evergreen. Mrs. Westerholm died Friday in a nursing home after a long illness. Mrs. Westerholm was born in Minnesota. She came to Seattle from California in 1912. She was a member of the Methodist Church. Mrs. Westerholm was the widow of Capt. Alex W. Westerholm master of the Liberty ship John Straub. He was killed when the ship exploded in Alaskan waters April 19, 1944.
Mrs. Westerholm is survived by a son, Raymond A. Steadman, Seattle.
UPDATE 2/21/2015: Based on the information about Helen's interment, I visited the Evergreen Washelli Cemetery and found her gravesite:
Here we finally see that Raymond Steadman was Helen's son. He has appeared in the census with Minerva mother of Helen as a boarder and grandson. Who the father is unclear at this time and does this mean that Helen (Sarah Ellen) was married a 3rd time?
Raymond Steadman was born about 1889 in California and died on 24 January 1967 in Seattle, King Co., Washington in the Seattle Times Newspaper. Unfortunately it does not tell us about his parentage.
Obituary: Raymond A. Steadman – Funeral services for Raymond A. Steadman 78, of 7018 Fifth Av. N.E. will be at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow in the Acacia Chapel, with burial in Acacia. He died yesterday in a hospital after a brief illness. Mr. Steadman came here from his native San Francisco 20 years ago. He owned and operated the Lake City Motel nine years, and also was an apartment house owner. His wife Lucille A. Steadman survives.
Update 2/21/2015: Acacia Cemetery is very near so I visited it and found the gravesite for Raymond and Lucille.
In the next post I will write about Minerva Parks Barclay Buchwald and what happened to her, the mother of John Avery and Helen (Sarah Ellen) Barclay.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – In a perfect playoff world, Stephen Strasburg might be on the mound in the nation's capital, Mariano Rivera closing it out in the Bronx and Melky Cabrera delivering a timely hit by the bay.
Bartolo Colon would be starting for Oakland, Ryan Madson pitching the ninth in Cincinnati.
Call this the depleted postseason. American League, National League, the division winners and the wild cards, almost every club headed to the playoffs has dealt with a devastating loss of some sort.
Workload, injuries and performance-enhancing drugs — there are all kinds of reasons teams are playing several men down.
Many are left saying ouch in October as the new-look playoffs begin.
The Bay Area took the biggest hit — with a long list of absent players on the Giants and Athletics. Each club moved forward seemingly unfazed, with San Francisco winning its second NL West title in three years and Oakland capturing the AL West crown on the regular season's final day against the two-time reigning AL champion Texas Rangers.
"Twenty-nine teams are going to finish with a loss, and I'd say the No. 1 reason is health, which makes it more spectacular where we are," Oakland's Jonny Gomes said.
Both teams also lost a key player because of PEDs, both to positive testosterone tests exactly one week apart. First it was Cabrera on Aug. 15, then Colon on Aug. 22.
"I think every team, when something like that happens, they try to make a statement, to bring the best they can bring, because they still have a job to do," Giants center fielder Angel Pagan said. "And it's about believing if you have enough, too. All these teams, they believe that they can get it done. They have enough to go out there and compete and win. That was our mentality since Day 1. We knew that we didn't have our closer, but we also knew that we had a great bullpen."
Ending Strasburg's season early was a front-office decision. Washington made the call to shut down its prized pitcher based on workload after 159 1-3 innings and a 15-6 record. Since early May, the New York Yankees have coped without career saves leader Rivera, who underwent right knee surgery in June.
Cabrera tested positive for testosterone and received a 50-game suspension in mid-August. The Giants since decided not to bring him back at all in the postseason if they're still playing when he's eligible — happy with the current roster and certain their public image would take another hit because of PEDs.
Cincinnati missed Madson, who's out for the year with a torn ligament in his elbow, and fellow relievers Nick Masset and Bill Bray also were lost before the year began. Even manager Dusty Baker spent a stint away from the team for 11 games — including the NL Central clincher and Homer Bailey's no-hitter recently while healing from a mini-stroke and irregular heartbeat.
Texas trudged along after starter Neftali Feliz underwent elbow-ligament replacement surgery this summer and without former postseason star Colby Lewis. Then, there's 2011 World Series star Lance Berkman of St. Louis recovering from his second knee surgery of the season Sept. 11, and long-gone Tigers All-Star Victor Martinez healing from his own knee operation.
The Yankees won the AL East and earned the AL's No. 1 seed with a rout of the rival Red Sox in Game 162, but might have been in a far more favorable position and resting the regulars with Rivera still around.
"It's hard to say. You don't know where you would be at," manager Joe Girardi said. "Injuries are hard to predict, when you're going to have them and how you overcome them and what the guys do. … Obviously we're all a little bit curious, but I don't think it's anything you can predict. But it does seem like we're getting healthier."
Baltimore manager Buck Showalter lost three leadoff hitters to injury. Nolan Reimold and Brian Roberts both underwent season-ending surgery, and Nick Markakis broke his left thumb last month when hit by a pitch from New York's CC Sabathia.
"It's probably as good a team as I've ever had at staying in the moment," Showalter said.
The Braves lost starter Brandon Beachy, who was tied for the best ERA in the majors when he went down in June and underwent Tommy John surgery.
Strasburg's last start came on Sept. 7, when he lasted only three innings and allowed five earned runs against Miami. While the Nationals were expected to let him pitch one more time, he was shut down the following day.
He was out on the field, celebrating with teammates on Monday night, when the Nationals clinched the NL East title. Strasburg sported his white uniform pants yanked up to his knees and flip-flops, saying, "Just a great feeling, to be a part of this."
"We're not here without Stephen," Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He's the No. 1 starter on the team with the best record in baseball and the National League East champs, so he's a huge part of what's going on here and will be for a long time to come."
In San Francisco, the Giants lost All-Star game MVP Cabrera to the 50-game drug suspension after already playing without All-Star closer and 2010 major league saves leader Brian Wilson since he underwent Tommy John surgery in April.
"The dynamic hasn't changed. It shows a team's character and how resilient they are with taking a loss like that," Wilson said. "The system is what works here, no single player is the reason. You can take key player out but the system works because we all pull for each other and we all play for one common goal."
Wilson, with that overgrown bushy black beard, was a star face of San Francisco's improbable championship run two Octobers ago.
"We lost Wilson as the closer, I was out for two months and on the DL twice, we lost Melky," Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval said. "That was a big deal. He was one of the best hitters for the team. We're fighting. We never lost the faith. We came here and we were patient to win the games. When you lose guys like that, your teammates get your back."
Across the bay in Oakland, the A's are without several starters in what became an all-rookie rotation. Brandon McCarthy was hit in the head with a line drive from the Angels' Erick Aybar on Sept. 5 and underwent surgery for an epidural hemorrhage, brain contusion and skull fracture.
He is back with the team — and his jersey hangs in the dugout.
As the A's celebrated madly with a champagne dance party in the clubhouse Monday night, McCarthy and Brett Anderson stood in the back and watched. They did their part, too, and might still return in 2012 if all goes right.
Oakland erased a 13-game division deficit from June 30.
"It really is starting to defy any explanation, where if you even thought about writing a movie about this team I don't know where you would even pick the narrative to go with this," McCarthy said. "Things keep going wrong, day after day, game after game, homestand after homestand something happens that we shouldn't be able to overcome. It just doesn't seem to happen, whether September and a nightmare schedule or losing three pitchers and having rookie after rookie come through, and unheralded guys step up over and over and over again. It's just the past the point of being resilient. It's become the norm."
Dallas Braden, who tossed that improbable perfecto on Mother's Day 2010, missed the year with shoulder problems and had surgery in August to repair his rotator cuff. Third baseman Brandon Inge, who came aboard after Scott Sizemore went down with a season-ending knee injury the first full-squad day at spring training, had surgery last month on his dislocated right shoulder.
"Outside of Bart … all our other losses were heavy-heart losses," Gomes said. "We don't want to prove we can do this without them, we want to do it for them. We want to do it for Sizemore, who's not here. We want to do it for Inge. We want to do it for Brandon (McCarthy). I made a joke the other day to (manager Bob) Melvin, you know how we're hanging McCarthy's jersey up. I said, 'Hey, Bob, I'm going to go in and get Kurt Suzuki, Norberto, Sizemore, Brandon Inge and McCarthy and Brett Anderson's jersey and hang them up, OK?' We've got a closet of jerseys that should be hung up."
And that same thing could be said for so many playoff clubs at this stage.

Tigers in Second After Day One of Alabama State Fall Classic
Prattville, Ala. – The Tennessee State men's golf team sits in second place after day one of the Alabama State Fall Classic. The Tigers shot a 17-over, 305 and are 13 strokes behind tournament host Alabama State. The first round was played in 96 degree temperatures at the 7,477 yard, Par-72 Senator Course on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course in Prattville, Ala.
"All in all we played well," said head coach Parrish McGrath. "Each player had a hole or two they let a shot get away from them. On this course an errant shot can easily turn into a double bogey or worse. We look forward to Monday to shave a few strokes and close the gap with the leaders."
James Stepp led the Tigers with a 2-over 74 and is just three shots behind the leaders. The junior just missed a hole-in-one on the par-3, 16th as his tee shot stopped just three feet from the hole. Stepp was able to find the fairway on 10-of-14 holes and hit 12 greens on the day.
Andrew Warner finished the first round just one shot behind Stepp, four shots behind the leaders, with a 3-over, 75. The senior found 14 greens and 11 fairways on the day. Warner drained a 35-foot putt for a birdie on the par-3, 13th.
Shane Sampair came into the clubhouse after a 5-over, 77. Sampair got off to a slow start and was 5-over after just six holes. The junior would score three birdies on the day and was able to cut his score down to 3-over heading into the 17th. Bogeys on the last two holes spoiled the outing and brought him back to 5-over for the day. Sampair hit seven fairways and 10 greens on Sunday.
Codie Wellborn shot a 7-over, 79 on day one as he found nine fairways and 12 greens and averaged fewer than two putts a hole. Wellborn's lone birdie came on the 400-yard, par-4 11th, as he left himself 106 yards after his tee shot. The Murfreesboro native used a sand wedge on his second shot and left himself a four foot putt for birdie.
Dallas Hill was at 4-over after 14 holes, but ran into trouble as he closed out the day. After a double bogey on 15, Hill would get a stroke back with a birdie on 16 as he stuck a 6-iron to within ten feet. But double bogeys on the final two holes gave Hill a non-scoring 9-over, 81. Hill was able to hit 10 greens and found seven fairways.
The final round will begin with a shotgun start at 8:00am on Monday.

This week, Jana Leo's Rape New York, subtitled An Open Archive, went on view at Invisible Exports in New York City. The exhibition consists of boxes of photographs, documents, transcripts and other material relating to the artists' rape seven years ago.
The gallery's press release describes the project as follows:
The documents assembled here, seven years in the making, accompany the release of (Leo's) book RAPE NEW YORK. The archive consists of photographs from her emergency visit to the hospital, police reports, crime scene photographs, notes from her therapist, as well as records from the civil suit and other assorted items and documents related to the rape and the legal case that followed, none of which can be reproduced, or even reviewed without the victims' consent. The documents are kept in organized boxes to be retrieved by the archivist, not displayed on the gallery walls. The archive is not presented to the visitor; instead, each guest must fully identify oneself (photo ID is required), and request materials from the archivist. This way, the visitor takes responsibility for what's requested, making private again what was made public by Leo-the latest revolution in a cycle of public and private that began with the rape itself.
The outlines of Leo's project recalls that of a number of 1970's era feminist works dealing with traumatic exposure–Yoko Ono's Cut Piece (link is to a video of the performance) and 1968 film Rape come foremost to mind–but the heart of Leo's piece seems to lie within the viewer's decision to take responsibility, in a public way, for looking at material that is private in the deepest sense of the word. Does the artist's complicity in the exposure negate its voyeuristic qualities? Does the decision to study Leo's rape archives signal compassion, curiosity, or cruelty on the part of individual viewers? Perhaps, a bit of all three.
Lately I've been mulling over a bunch of questions that essentially revolve around blogging and personal responsibility. Yesterday I came across mention of Leo's show in a brief blurb on one of the art news blogs. I initially decided not to reblog the item, because there was only minimal information about the show itself. It felt sensationalistic, somehow, to just shoot the item out there once again without providing any further context. As coincidence would have it, this morning I randomly came across Caitlin Roper's lengthy and fascinating interview with Jana Leo on Bomb's blog, which contains a few reproductions of images and documents from the archive. Roper's piece, I think, provides enough background context to give Leo's project meaning even to those who can't see the show in person.
To be honest, I feel somewhat relieved that I don't live in New York and therefore don't have to decide whether or not I want to visit Leo's show and read her archives. I have an easy out, this time. But I did have to make the decision about whether and how I should write about it, particularly in the zippily superficial context of a blog post. So in that sense, I am still a participant in Leo's project, still accountable for my decision to engage it from a distance in the manner that I have.
Here's a last, chilling postscript. Eva Rhodes (nee Eva Majlata), the unnamed woman who was the subject of Ono's aforementioned film Rape, was bludgeoned to death in 2007 by one of her employees, set on fire, and buried not far from an animal sanctuary she had established in Hungary. Sukhdev Sandhu writes movingly about Rhodes' death, and Ono's film, here.

2016 RAM 1500 SLT Crew Cab 4WD

City 15 / Hwy 21 Estimated By E.P.A. - Actual Mileage May Vary
Retail Price: $29,950

Ram 1500 pickups have roomy cabs with excellent ergonomics, cubby storage galore, and giant touchscreens that are easy to operate. Ram Box bed storage, an adjustable suspension that kneels for easier ingress, and active grille shutters add to its appeal.
Visit Southern Roads Auto online at southernroadsauto.com to see more pictures of this vehicle or call us at 770-267-0770 today to schedule your test drive.
The Ram 1500 competes with the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan. All but the Ram have been recently redesigned.
The Ram compares very well to the competition and is the most distinctive among a group of distinctive trucks. Ride quality is dependent on suspension, tires and other packaging choices, but the Ram 1500 models generally tend toward the smoother end of the class, vying with Chevrolet and GMC.
The 2016 Ram is a fourth-generation product, introduced as a 2009 model. 2014 brought a diesel engine and some styling updates.
2016-ram-rebelFor 2016, a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel engine is available that achieves an EPA rating of 20/29 mpg City/Highway while delivering 420 pound-feet of trailer-pulling torque. Also new for 2016: the rugged Ram Rebel and the luxurious Ram Laramie Limited. Otherwise, the Ram 1500 lineup continues unchanged.
A range of engines is available for the Ram to suit the wide variety of needs and missions that characterize light-duty pickups. Among them: the new 3.0-liter V6 EcoDiesel, the 3.6-liter V6 that comes standard on all models, and the 5.7-liter V8 Hemi. All come standard with an 8-speed automatic.
Regular Cab, Quad Cab, and Crew Cab versions are available, the latter most popular for their roomy back seats. Bed lengths range from 6-feet, 4-inches or 5-feet, 7-inches on Crew Cab and Quad Cab models to the full 8 feet with Regular Cabs.
Interiors range widely by trim level, with upper levels outfitted in handsome fabrics and leathers with impressive attention to detail, making them very nice vehicles in which to spend time.
Model Lineup
The Ram 1500 lineup really begins with the SLT, which comes with cloth upholstery. Big Horn, Lone Star, Laramie, Outdoorsman, Sport and other models upgrade seats, cloth and features. Tradesman models are members of the Ram Commercial line trimmed to be work trucks with vinyl seats, black vinyl floors, manual windows and locks.
2016-ram-walkThe Ram is the most distinctive of the full-size pickups, looking a bit like a miniature Freightliner.
Nearly every trim level of the Ram 1500 gets its own grille treatment. The mainstream designs look better to our eyes than the black grille on the Ram Rebel or the nostrils on the Limited. Upper-level models are further distinguished by LEDs and exhaust faired into the rear bumper.
The Ram Box is a big decision. It doesn't improve the appearance of the truck but could add utility for owners who need lockable bed storage. Ram engineers say owners who have the Ram Box wonder how they ever did without it. The Ram Box can be unlocked with the remote key fob, a handy feature, and drains in the boxes allow them to be used as ice chests, making the Ram a great choice for a tailgate party.
2016-ram-walk-ltdOn some trims, that tailgate includes a Ram logo as large as the Hollywood sign. LEDs
Regular Cab, Crew Cab, Quad Cab along with the various bed lengths are important decisions. Most find the Crew Cab to be the most useful, but even the Regular Cab offers storage behind the seats.
HFE high fuel-efficiency models feature active grille shutters that close for improved aerodynamics or open when needed for cooling, along with aerodynamic side steps, a seal between cab and bed, and a rear spoiler on the tailgate. HFE comes with a Stop/Start feature that some drivers like for its fuel economy, others find an annoying distraction. HFE only comes on Regular Cab versions and improves fuel economy only slightly.
2016-ram-seatsThe Ram cab is ergonomically excellent with easy to use controls. Big knobs make adjusting temperature and sound easy, even when wearing gloves. A big touchscreen is available that is both easy to read and easy to operate, better than the Ford screens.
The upper trim levels show great attention to detail, some of which may not be noticed immediately. The Ram Rebel, for example, features a delightful mix of materials and design, including a tread pattern on the seats that matches the tread design of the Toyo all-terrain tires. Deluxe two-color stitching and interesting graphics add charm and the rear-seat area is trimmed just as nicely as the front.
The Laramie Longhorn has handsome stitching and fine wood grain trim.
Driving Impressions
The Ram 1500 is an enjoyable truck to drive and comfortable for long drives. It rides smoothly and steers well, benefitting from responsive electric steering. Performance and driving character are, of course, affected by equipment choices.
The 3.0-liter diesel is the fuel efficiency champion, with an EPA rating of 20/29 mpg City/Highway. The turbocharged diesel generates 240 horsepower, but more important, it produces 420 foot-pounds of torque, that force that propels the truck up hills while pulling a trailer. A Ram with the diesel can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 8 seconds, according to Ram, which reports tow ratings up to 9,200 pounds. It is quiet for a diesel, with just a faint clatter that is pleasing to the ear of diesel lovers. As always with diesels, it is a pricey option.
The 3.6-liter V6 engine is the standard engine and a popular choice for drivers who need a pickup bed to haul but want good fuel economy. Using Regular 87-octane gasoline, the V6 is EPA-rated at 17/25 mpg City/Highway, or 16/23 mpg with four-wheel drive. The V6 generates 305 horsepower and 269 foot-pounds of torque. It will haul a load without much effort, though it sounds a bit strained at higher rpm. The V6 is rated to tow up to 6,500 pounds but is not the best choice for owners who tow anything heavier than a bass boat. The 8-speed automatic works well with this engine.
The 5.7-liter V8 generates 395 hp and 407 foot-pounds of torque, growling enthusiastically at full throttle. Ram says it is capable of launching the truck from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. The V8 is the best choice for towing, offering a rating as high as 10,650 pounds in some configurations. We recommend a Ram Heavy Duty for anyone regularly pulling heavy trailers, however. It makes sense to have a healthy margin between your truck's towing capacity and the fully loaded weight of your trailer.
Four-wheel drive is available. Part-time 4WD is the standard setup, but an on-demand AWD system is available with V8s. The former is generally better for rugged terrain, the latter is generally better for snow, ice and inconsistent road conditions.
Final Word
2016-ram-finalAmong the full-size pickups, there are no bad choices. We recommend against basing a purchase decision purely on towing capability or cargo capacity. If there is a brand you prefer, we recommend concentrating on selecting the configuration that is best for your needs and desires.

A 25-year-old veteran and student at Quinsigamond Community College won $2,500 a week for life on a scratch ticket this week.
According to the state lottery, Ryan F. Bartholomew of Worcester won the prize on a $5 instant scratch ticket. The lottery said he will receive $2,500 a week, less taxes, every week for the rest of his life. There is a 20-year, $2.6 million guaranteed minimum payout on the prize, according to the lottery.
The ticket, purchased at Holly Farms at 151 Thompson Road in Webster, earned that store a $26,000 commission on the sale. Mr. Bartholomew is the eighth player to claim a grand prize in the "$2,500 A Week For Life" game.
Mr. Bartholomew was discharged from the Marine Corps in January 2012 and has since been attending Quinsigamond Community College on the G.I. Bill, according to lottery officials. The ticket was a birthday gift from his grandfather, and Mr. Bartholomew said he plans to put his winnings in the bank and save for the future, according to the lottery.
There are two more $2,500-a-week for life prizes remaining, according to the lottery.

In the hours after his name became known, the entire world was searching for the NSA whistleblower, and it became vital that his whereabouts in Hong Kong remained secret. In an extract from his new book, No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the US Surveillance State, Greenwald recalls the dramatic events surrounding the moment Snowden revealed himself in June 2013.
On Thursday 6 June 2013, our fifth day in Hong Kong, I went to Edward Snowden's hotel room and he immediately said he had news that was "a bit alarming". An internet-connected security device at the home he shared with his longtime girlfriend in Hawaii had detected that two people from the NSA – a human-resources person and an NSA "police officer" – had come to their house searching for him.
Snowden was almost certain this meant that the NSA had identified him as the likely source of the leaks, but I was sceptical. "If they thought you did this, they'd send hordes of FBI agents with a search warrant and probably Swat teams, not a single NSA officer and a human-resources person." I figured this was just an automatic and routine inquiry, triggered when an NSA employee goes absent for a few weeks without explanation. But Snowden suggested that perhaps they were being purposely low-key to avoid drawing media attention or setting off an effort to suppress evidence.
Whatever the news meant, it underscored the need for Laura Poitras – the film-maker who was collaborating with me on the story – and I to quickly prepare our article and video unveiling Snowden as the source of the disclosures. We were determined that the world would first hear about Snowden, his actions and his motives, from Snowden himself, not through a demonisation campaign spread by the US government while he was in hiding or in custody and unable to speak for himself.
Our plan was to publish two more articles on the NSA files in the Guardian and then release a long piece on Snowden himself, accompanied by a videotaped interview, and a printed Q&A with him.
Poitras had spent the previous 48 hours editing the footage from my first interview with Snowden, but she said it was too detailed, lengthy, and fragmented to use. She wanted to film a new interview right away; one that was more concise and focused, and wrote a list of 20 or so specific questions for me to ask him. I added several of my own as Poitras set up her camera and directed us where to sit.
"Um, my name is Ed Snowden," the now-famous film begins. "I'm 29 years old. I work for Booz Allen Hamilton as an infrastructure analyst for NSA in Hawaii."

Forest Service Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Rule
The USDA Forest Service unveiled its proposed Forest Planning Rule today which would establish a new national framework to develop land management plans that protect water and wildlife and promote vibrant communities.
Forest Service land management plans guide management activities on the 155 National Forests and 20 Grasslands in the National Forest System. The proposed planning rule provides a collaborative and science-based framework for creating land management plans that would support ecological sustainability and contribute to rural job opportunities. The proposed rule includes new provisions to guide forest and watershed restoration and resilience, habitat protection, sustainable recreation, and management for multiple uses of the National Forest System, including timber.
"This proposed planning rule seeks to conserve our forests for the benefit of water, wildlife, recreation and the economic vitality of our rural communities," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "The proposed rule will provide the tools to the Forest Service to make our forests more resilient to many threats, including pests, catastrophic fire and climate change. Healthy forests and economically strong rural communities form a solid foundation as we work to win the future for the next generation."
Publication of the proposed planning rule in the Federal Register will kick off a 90-day public comment period, ending May 16. The Forest Service will use comments to develop a final rule. To encourage public engagement, the Forest Service is hosting an open forum to discuss the proposed rule on March 10, 2011 in Washington, D.C. The meeting will be Web cast to allow for national participation, and there will be additional public forums held throughout the country. The proposed rule, meeting information, and additional information can be found at www.fs.usda.gov/planningrule.
Highlights of the proposed planning rule include:
- A more effective and efficient framework that would allow adaptive land management planning in the face of climate change and other stressors.
- Increased requirements for public involvement and collaboration throughout all stages of land management planning.
- Improved ability to respond to climate change and other stressors through provisions to restore and maintain healthy and resilient ecosystems.
- Increased protections for water resources and watersheds.
- More effective and proactive requirements to provide for diverse native plant and animal species.
- Provisions to guide the contributions of a National Forest or National Grassland to social and economic sustainability.
- Updated provisions for sustainable land, water and air-based recreation.
- Requirements to provide for integrated resource management of a range of multiple uses and values including outdoor recreation, range, timber, water, wildlife, wilderness, energy, mining, and ecosystem services.
- New requirements for a local and landscape-scale monitoring program that are based on the latest science.
The proposed rule would update planning procedures that have been in place since 1982, creating a modern planning process that reflects the latest science and knowledge of how to create and implement effective land management plans.
"The Forest Service has been a steward of American lands for more than a century, and this proposed planning rule will build on that tradition," said Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. "We value the thoughtful input we've received in the development of this proposed rule, and we look forward to continuing collaboration to construct an adaptive management framework for the people's forests and grasslands, based on sound science and reflecting public values."
The proposed rule is the product of the most participatory planning rule development process in Forest Service history. To develop the proposed rule, the Forest Service held over 40 public meetings and roundtables across the country that drew more than 3,000 participants, and hosted a blog to engage the public. Additionally, the Forest Service reviewed more than 26,000 comments on the notice of intent to issue a new planning rule.
The USDA Forest Service manages 193 million acres of forests and grasslands across the country. Drinking water for approximately one in five Americans comes from the National Forest System. American forests, including those in the National Forest System, also capture and store enough carbon every year to offset 11 percent of the nation's industrial greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, hundreds of millions of Americans visit National Forests and Grasslands annually, with 98 percent of these lands offering free access. More information is available at http://www.fs.usda.gov/planningrule.

UPDATE: Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, apologized to the synod members last night for having asked that the YouTube clip be shown.
There are no written texts of the synod's evening discussions, but Basilian Father Thomas Rosica, the English-language press officer for the synod, said Cardinal Turkson told the assembly that he "never meant to hurt people, cause harm, scare people or to stir up things as he did and he apologized for that."
Father Rosica said several bishops spoke about the clip again last night. "There were questions. Most of the concern was that the facts weren't right," Father Rosica said.
VATICAN CITY — The screening of an anonymous YouTube clip about the decline of Christian populations in Europe and North America and the growth of the continents' Muslim community launched heated debate and some serious objections at the Synod of Bishops Saturday evening.
A cardinal who works in the Vatican asked that the 7-and-a-half-minute video be shown to bishops at the synod, according to the Vatican press office.
The video, posted on YouTube in 2009, makes claims such as, "In just 39 years, France will be an Islamic republic."
The clip ends by telling people, "The world is changing; it's time to wake up."
Officials from the council of European bishops' conferences said the film's premise is based on faulty statistics and they would provide synod members with accurate figures on birth rates in Europe, and the religious make-up of the continent's population.
The video was shown at the beginning of Saturday evening's "open discussion" in the synod hall. The synod's English-language briefing officer, Basilian Father Thomas Rosica, told reporters about the film and reaction to it, but in keeping with synod rules, he did not name any of the bishops involved.
Father Rosica said that even this morning, bishops at the synod were asking who made the film and why it was shown at the synod.

Announcing the Locator API
We're pleased to announce a more flexible way to access the information found in our HIV/AIDS Service Provider Locator tool (a location-based search tool that allows you to search for testing services, housing providers, health centers and other service providers near your current location).
We're launching an API, or application programming interface, making it possible to display, analyze and manipulate the raw location data behind locator.aids.gov.
Two years ago, when we began development on the Locator, the goal was to create a one-stop, single website to host Federal HIV/AIDS prevention and service locations on a user friendly mapping tool. Once we released the Locator as an application, we created a widget to allow website owners to embed that content on their own sites.
With the emergence of mobile, we saw a significant increase in traffic to the Locator via mobile devices and modified the Locator to work with mobile devices as well as desktops. This combination, merging location data with mobile devices (ideal for mobile search) has grown significantly. Mobile traffic accounts for 30% of all visits, up from just 8% last year.
While the Locator is widely distributed, and is optimized for mobile, we believe there is still more to be learned by making this resource available to developers and programmers through the API. Allowing this access could lead to new ways of using this information. We hope to see new, different, and exciting uses for this data brought to life through the API.
Through the API, we're making available all of the service types you can now find through the Locator: testing, housing assistance, health clinics, Ryan White clinics, mental health care facilities, substance abuse care facilities, and family planning facilities. Searches are based on location: either latitude and longitude coordinates, or ZIP Code.
For more information on exactly how to use the API, please see the documentation.

Why Choose Cremation?
Cremation is becoming an increasingly common choice in the United States, having outpaced burial in 2016 and continuing to grow in popularity. In fact, cremation is projected to be the choice of 77 percent of Americans by 2035.
Why the increased interest in a practice that's been around for tens of thousands of years? It's hard to pinpoint any one explanation, but there are many reasons to choose cremation:
- Cremation gives you flexibility that burial doesn't allow, and is less costly. Burial must occur soon after death, but cremation allows more leeway. A funeral can be held before cremation, with the body present, or it can be postponed until a time that's convenient for the family. Cremation is a less expensive option, and in addition to saving money, you can also save space. The final resting place of someone who has been cremated is much smaller than a traditional gravesite.
- Cremation is less costly to the environment. Especially if you choose a green cremation, the environmental footprint is smaller.
- Cremation offers a wide range of memorialization options. Some people believe their options are limited by cremation, but in fact, they're expanded.
- Cremated remains can be interred in a traditional cemetery.
- Glass-front niches are an option that allows for visibility of the urn and for personal mementos to be displayed.
- Most niches are made of granite or marble for long-lasting elegance.
- Scattering gardens are a lovely place to remember a loved one.
- Memorialization in cremorials or landscaping elements such as boulders can be a unique option.
- Bench estates provide a resting spot in a garden where family members and loved ones can go to rest, remember and reflect.
Whether you choose cremation or burial, Fort Myers Memorial Gardens can help you make your plans. We have been providing exceptional service for nearly 60 years at one of the finest cemetery properties on earth — and having built a reputation on quality, sincerity and trust, we provide services that celebrate the life of each individual and respect the wishes of every family. Learn more about how our cremation services can be tailored to fit your family by calling (239) 243-0014 or visiting our Cremation Options page.
